North Georgia Zoo is home to hundreds of animals. Many of the animals spend their time behind the scenes for a variety of reasons. Many of the animals are working as animal ambassadors and going out to schools, parties and other events. Other animals are in the process of their training program that involves daily interaction and positive reinforcement. These animals are preparing for movies, commercials and waiting for their claim to fame! Our animals have been used in Vampire Diaries, Coma, Tony Danza and more!
